Abstract

THE NAME of the Babylonian city SITM-TABki, known mainly from the Obelisk of Manistusu 1 and from texts of the third dynasty of Ur found at Drehem,2 has been commonly read sit-tabki. The reason for reading the first sign as sit was a very simple one, namely, the fact that this was a very common value of the sign U. But in addition this reading seemed to be supported by the fact that it ended in t, while the following sign, tab, began with t. The name thus seemed to have a doubled or sharpened dental in its middle, a fact which reduced the number of its consonants to three.3
